Psychology includes the study of topics such as how our brains work, how we view the world, why we dream, how we learn, and where our personalities come from. More specifically, psychology can be defined as the study of human behaviour and mental processes: how they influence physical and mental states and the external environment.

When we use the word behavior, we are talking about the actions people take that can be observed by others. These actions might include the words we say, the ways we move our bodies, or the facial expressions we make. By contrast, mental processes are thoughts, emotions, and motives that cannot be observed by others. Feelings of fear, thoughts about your boss, or a desire for a candy bar, are all examples of mental processes.

The first goal of psychology is to describe behavior and mental processes. The more clearly and accurately these experiences are described, the better they may be understood. This understanding is the first step toward psychology’s other goals.
